Former Georgia Southern basketball player Charlton Young will leave his position as assistant basketball coach at Georgia Tech to become the new head coach at GSU, according to multiple sources, effective at an 11 a.m. press conference this morning.

Friday, Georgia Southern released its 2009 football schedule, which is highlighted by five home games and a road matchup with the Atlantic Coast Conference's North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday, Oct. 10 in Chapel Hill, N.C.

BROOKLET - The Southeast Bulloch Yellow Jackets (1-0) sent a message to the rest of Region 3-AA on Friday night in Eastman against the Dodge County Indians. With a 25-20 win on the road against DCHS - one of eight teams in the region that was in the playoffs a year ago - the Jackets let everyone know that on this schedule, there's no such thing as a 'week off.'

ATHENS – So, you thought Georgia Southern had a chance for the upset. Realistically, the Eagles weren't supposed to have a prayer against the No. 1 Bulldogs and in reality, when the two teams took the field, they didn't.

David Emanuel Academy (0-1) kept things interesting for a half, but a young and inexperienced Bulloch Academy (1-0) squad grew up in a hurry, bouncing back in the second and knocking off the Eagles 40-12 in the season opener at Gator Alley Thursday.

The last two seasons in Metter have been all about building a foundation from the bottom up. In 2006, coach Clay Hill inherited a Tiger squad without much experience, and he has focused on developing the middle school kids and keeping the numbers up. Metter has consistently fielded over 50 kids in each of the last two seasons, and with a strong foundation both offensively and defensively, the coaching staff feels the team is ready to compete again.

BROOKLET - A five yard scamper by Portal's Steven Cox was the difference in a wet and windy defensive battle Thursday night as the Panthers defeated the Southeast Bulloch Yellow Jackets 7-0 in a scrimmage the week before the 2008 opening kickoff.

PORTAL - The second game of Wednesday's doubleheader was one out from becoming official, but Emanuel County Institute's Nikki Ellison belted a two-out single into left field as the rain opened up, and the game was called with the Portal Lady Panthers (2-0) holding a 3-1 advantage.

BROOKLET - Some heads-up base running allowed Ansley Rushing to cross the plate with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, giving the Southeast Bulloch Lady Yellow Jackets (5-2) a 3-2 win over the Brantley County Lady Herons (4-1-1) Tuesday at SEB's home opener.
